• Seiji blocked Heishiki’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion with Daikokuten, then dodged the Truth-Seeking Orb and kicked the weakened elder.

Yagura was on the verge of being killed by Otsutsuki Koshiki when Isobu decided to reconcile with him and become his partner. Yagura eagerly accepted, leaving him poised to become a Perfect Jinchuriki.

• Otsutsuki Koshiki gathered all his Chakra and unleashed a weakened Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion against Isobu’s Tailed Beast Ball.
• The attacks collided in a massive blast that shook the Castle, and Otsutsuki Koshiki was thrown from the smoke, covered in blood.

Yagura and Isobu defeated Otsutsuki Koshiki, then joined Hyō in heading to support Seiji. Seiji’s battle ended in his favor, but using the Blood Burning Technique and Ash Bone Technique together slightly weakened his Otsutsuki Bloodline as he prepared to claim the Giant Tenseigan.

• Isobu crushed Otsutsuki Koshiki with Shadow Touch after the Tailed Beast Ball, and Koshiki died from his injuries.
• Yagura stored Koshiki’s corpse in a Sealing Scroll and went to find Hyō, who had already defeated Otsutsuki Washiki.
• Yagura transferred some Three-Tails Chakra to Hyō, and they set out to help Seiji, sensing that he was struggling against a powerful opponent.
• A terrifying chakra eruption and golden slash devastated the Castle and split the surrounding terrain, after which Hyō and Yagura sensed Seiji’s presence and realized his battle had ended.
• Seiji ended the Blood Burning Technique and assessed that using it alongside the Ash Bone Technique had slightly regressed his Otsutsuki Bloodline; he expected the Giant Tenseigan to restore and improve it.

After defeating Otsutsuki Hiraishiki, Seiji reunited with Hyou and Yagura and led them toward the Hamura Shrine to claim the Giant Tenseigan. He broke through the shrine’s Barrier, leaving the three ready to enter.

• Seiji told Hyou and Yagura that he was recovering from the backlash of a secret technique, then agreed that the Giant Tenseigan could likely move the existing Space Tunnel to Kirigakure.
• Yagura revealed Otsutsuki Koshiki’s damaged corpse in a Sealing Scroll, and Hyou recognized it as valuable material for research before Seiji took it into Takamagahara Space.
• Seiji led Hyou and Yagura toward the Hamura Shrine, explaining that the Giant Tenseigan had summoned him because the shrine’s Barrier had opened when he was in the Land of Fire.
• Seiji used his Jōgan to find and shatter the Barrier surrounding the Hamura Shrine.

Seiji and his companions entered Hamura Shrine and found two surviving Moon Otsutsuki, Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara, who had resisted Otsutsuki Heishiki’s extreme ideology. Seiji spared them and continued into the shrine, where he finally reached the Giant Tenseigan.

• Black Zetsu sensed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion from Kirigakure and recognized the fleeting aura of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
• Seiji entered Hamura Shrine and found Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara, who explained that Otsutsuki Heishiki had sacrificed the other clansmen using a genjutsu tied to the Giant Tenseigan.
• Hyou and Yagura deferred to Seiji on the two survivors’ fate, and Seiji spared them by walking deeper into the shrine.
• Yagura reassured Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara that they had survived, and the two collapsed in relief.
• Seiji followed the growing summons through the shrine and reached the glowing Giant Tenseigan.

Seiji began absorbing the Giant Tenseigan’s power after using his Jōgan to bypass its bloodline restriction and extracting Byakugan for Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara. Otsutsuki Hamura appeared to help Seiji, pleased that he had stopped the Branch Family’s plot and preserved the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s future.

• Seiji touched the Giant Tenseigan, and his Jōgan resonated with it as Hyō and Yagura watched the shrine light up.
• Seiji used Hakke: Spiral Absorption Palm to extract two pairs of Byakugan from the Giant Tenseigan for Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara.
• Seiji formed a special seal and connected his chakra to the Giant Tenseigan, beginning to absorb its power.
• Otsutsuki Hamura appeared beside Seiji and offered to lend him a hand.

Otsutsuki Hamura chose to entrust the Ninja World's future to Seiji and helped him absorb the Giant Tenseigan's power. Seiji's bloodline evolved, he gained the ability to fly, and Hamura restored the moon before entrusting memory orbs to his remaining descendants.

• Otsutsuki Hamura considered Seiji's potential and decided to help him forge a path to protect the Ninja World.
• Otsutsuki Hamura guided the Giant Tenseigan's power into Seiji, restoring his depleted bloodline and increasing his chakra.
• Seiji's Otsutsuki Bloodline improved, his eyes shifted toward the Tenseigan, and he began floating and flying under his own power.
• Otsutsuki Hamura used Yin-Yang Release to restore the moon's battle damage, shocking Hyō, Yagura, Otsutsuki Tenshin, and Otsutsuki Gara.
• Otsutsuki Hamura nodded to Seiji, faded away, and tossed Memory Orbs to his two remaining descendants.

Seiji absorbed all the power in the Giant Tenseigan and awakened Tenseigan of his own. Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara accepted him as their clan head, and he gave them Byakugan as their new eyes.

• Otsutsuki Hamura exhausted his stored soul power to aid Seiji, then fell into a deep sleep.
• Seiji absorbed the Giant Tenseigan's remaining power, awakening sky-blue Tenseigan identical to Otsutsuki Hamura's.

• Tenshin and Gara announced that Otsutsuki Hamura had named Seiji the Otsutsuki Clan's new head and ordered them to serve him.
• Seiji accepted their allegiance and gave Tenshin and Gara pairs of Byakugan taken from the Giant Tenseigan.

Seiji restored Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara’s sight with Byakugan, then led the group to collect the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s possessions for Kirigakure. He examined his newly awakened Tenseigan and tested its Chakra Mode, knowing it would take about six years for the remaining two Fetal Movements to mature it.

• Otsutsuki Tenshin and Otsutsuki Gara inserted the Byakugan Seiji gave them, and Seiji healed their eyes with Yang Release Healing Chakra.
• Otsutsuki Tenshin gave Seiji a Sealing Scroll containing the corpses of Otsutsuki clansmen who had been sacrificed under Otsutsuki Hiraishiki’s control.
• Seiji and the others left Hamura Shrine for Otsutsuki Castle, where the group gathered the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s collections to bring back to Kirigakure.
• Seiji assessed his newly awakened Tenseigan, learning that it needed two more Fetal Movements and roughly six years to mature.
• Seiji activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and the others sensed his powerful aura before returning to their work.

Seiji tested his Tenseigan Chakra Mode and discovered it produced weaker Truth-Seeking Balls, then ended the form to avoid delaying his Tenseigan’s next fetal movement. An unknown force seized his soul and pulled him into a light-devouring space, leaving him facing a frightening presence.

• Seiji sensed inferior Truth-Seeking Balls emerge behind him and considered using Hamura’s method to create genuine ones.
• Seiji dissipated Tenseigan Chakra Mode after sensing that each minute he used it would delay his Tenseigan’s next fetal movement by a day.
• A sudden, invisible force overpowered Seiji and dragged his soul through a spatial rift.
• Seiji regained some awareness in a silent, light-devouring darkness and suspected a threat powerful enough to bypass his defenses.

Seiji encountered Kaguya Otsutsuki in a dark space after absorbing the Giant Tenseigan’s source power. Kaguya mistook his bloodline for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s and appeared before him beneath the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

• Seiji heard a woman calling for her child and suspected Kaguya Otsutsuki had drawn his soul into the space.
• Kaguya mistook Seiji’s Hamura-like chakra for Otsutsuki Hamura, then recognized that he was someone else.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki emerged before Seiji, whose soul froze at the sight of her.

Seiji was pulled into Kaguya Otsutsuki’s Starting Ball Space, where she mistook him for someone who had come to rescue her. After draining his chakra and Pupil Power, she regained some clarity and asked if he had finally come to fetch her.

• Seiji realized that Kaguya Otsutsuki had drawn his soul into her space, possibly through a crack in the seal caused by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki approached Seiji and seized him by the throat, mistaking his Otsutsuki aura for a reason to pull him closer.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki absorbed Seiji’s chakra and Pupil Power until his eyes reverted to their ordinary state.
• The energy she absorbed stirred a memory and cleared some of Kaguya Otsutsuki’s confusion.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki softened and asked Seiji whether he had finally come to fetch her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki returned Seiji’s power and sent his soul back, hinting that she knew him and would wait for him. Meanwhile, Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki sensed Kaguya’s aura and planned to investigate her and Isshiki after completing their fruit-gathering mission.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki sensed that the time had not yet come, restored Seiji’s chakra and Pupil Power, and sent him back through a Space-Time Portal.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki told Seiji that she would always wait for him, leaving him confused about their connection as his soul returned to his body.
• Seiji set aside his questions about Kaguya Otsutsuki and began planning for the near future.
• Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki detected Kaguya Otsutsuki’s incomplete aura while traveling through space toward the Ninja World.
• Momoshiki Otsutsuki told Kinshiki Otsutsuki to keep their mission from Urashiki Otsutsuki and planned to investigate Isshiki and Kaguya after gathering the ripe Chakra Fruit.

After sorting the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s archives, Seiji and the others prepared to return to Hidden Mist Village. Hyou chose Training Ground 1 as the site for the Space Tunnel, and Seiji began opening it with his Tenseigan.

• Hyou and Yagura discovered that the collected puppet fragments could not be used without the Giant Tenseigan.
• The group sealed the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s archives in scrolls and set out for the Space Tunnel to the Ninja World.
• Yagura suggested opening the tunnel inside the Mizukage Tower, but Hyou and Seiji rejected the idea.
• Hyou chose Training Ground 1 as the tunnel’s destination because few people visited it.
• Seiji activated his Tenseigan and poured out Pupil Power to open the Space Tunnel.

Seiji returned to Hidden Mist Village with Hyou, Yagura, and the Otsutsuki brothers after relocating the Space Tunnel to Training Ground 1. At the Mizukage Office, the leaders discussed developing the moon and considered Shimura Danzō’s proposal, with Hyou leaving the decision to Seiji.

• Seiji used most of his Pupil Power to move the Space Tunnel’s exit to Training Ground 1, then recovered enough to lead the group through it.
• Ken brought ANBU squads to investigate the spatial disturbance, but found Seiji and the others emerging safely from the lake.
• Seiji recounted the group’s journey to Genji and Ken while concealing their encounter with Kaguya Otsutsuki.
• Genji proposed establishing an ANBU base on the moon, and Hyou agreed to begin its exploration and development.
• Genji presented Shimura Danzō’s letter proposing another arrangement with Hidden Mist Village, and Hyou asked Seiji to decide whether to accept.

After regaining his authority and command of Konoha’s Sunagakure battlefield, Danzō planned to use Kirigakure’s help to kill Kira Uchiha and take the Uchiha’s Sharingan. The chapter leaves Danzō confident that he can eliminate Kira and then seize the remaining Uchiha on the battlefield.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi restored Danzō to the Elders’ Council, the position of Hokage Assistant, and command of Root, then appointed him commander of the Sunagakure battlefield.
• Danzō noticed that Kira Uchiha and ten Uchiha Jonin had arrived as reinforcements, and began plotting to take their Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
• Because Hiruzen had Anbu monitor Root, Danzō decided to enlist Kirigakure as outside support and offered them one pair of Sharingan.
• Danzō planned to send Kira on a mission without Uchiha support, then ambush him with Root and Kirigakure while Kira traveled with two Uchiha Jonin.
• Danzō expected that killing Kira would leave the other Uchiha on the battlefield vulnerable to him.
